A tragic incident occurred in São Paulo on Saturday, when a 27-year-old swimming instructor named Juliana Faustino Bassetto died after swimming in a gym pool. Both she and her husband reported strange taste and appearance of the pool water during their swimming lesson at the C4 GYN facility in Parque São Lucas. Shortly after noticing these anomalies, they began to feel unwell, prompting them to alert their instructor about their condition.

Following their alarming symptoms, the couple sought medical attention and were transported to Hospital Santa Helena in Santo André. Unfortunately, Juliana's health deteriorated rapidly, resulting in cardiac arrest, and she was pronounced dead upon arrival. Her husband remains hospitalized in serious condition, and the authorities were notified of Juliana's death by a family member. This incident raises urgent concerns about the safety standards of public swimming facilities, especially regarding water quality and the protocols for reporting unusual conditions.

Attempts by journalists to contact the gym for comments have so far been unsuccessful. Furthermore, the occurrence has prompted local police involvement, with reports of a man approaching them on Sunday to provide further details, indicating that investigations may soon follow. The implications of this event could lead to stricter regulatory oversight of gym safety protocols and heightened awareness among the community regarding potential health hazards in recreational facilities.
